Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 October 1890 — Bourbon Bayonets All Right. [ARTICLE]

Bourbon Bayonets All Right.

Talk about bayonets at the polls?. The Jackson (Miss.) Clarion (Dem.). of January 2, 1890, cried: The Rankin Rangers will be here on Monday to see there is a fair election. The Madison Guards will be here on Monday to see there is a fair election. ~ The Raymond Rifles will be here on Monday to see there is a fair election. The Clinton Corps will be here on Monday to see there is a fair election. The Edwards Dragoons will be here on Monday to see their is a fair election. , Who cares if the McGill men [the Republicans] don’t like it? What are they going to do about it, whether they like it or not? It shall be a Democratic victory. It makes all the difference in theworld (though the dough-faced dude* of the North don’t see it) whose bayonets it is that bristle and glean at the polls. Bourbon bayonets suit Democrats and doughfaces perfectly. When the Democratic congressmen get home and begin to make stump speeches, their constituents should require them to tell what they have d"n© since last December to earn their salaries. Their record M one of utter uselessness, and they can not excuse it by hurling epithets at the Republicans. . It is always safe to conclude that s measure which displeases the free traders, as the new tariff bill does, must have in it the promise and potency of good results for the American people, however unfriendly it may be to foreign interests. The Republicans created the tariff and the Republicans revised it. When a tariff is no longer needed the Republicans will remove it.
